Swift previously announced a first and only pressing of the "Shiny Bug" collection, which featured a "wintergreen & onyx marbled" vinyl as well as a "violet shimmer marbled vinyl" option. Each included the same new photo of Swift in a bejeweled black leotard, sparkly black gloves and fishnets.

"The Life of a Showgirl" follows Swift's 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," which was released on April 19, 2024. The album came with a surprise for fans at 2 a.m. at the time, when Swift dropped an additional 15 songs.

The cover for The Life of a Showgirl features Swift like we’ve never seen her before. Dressed in a crystal ensemble from Area, Taylor reclines in a pool of water, with only her face breaching the surface. The project’s title is emblazoned across the photograph in bold, sparkly orange.
